Several drivers will be hoping for a smooth weekend without any engine-related issues, including, Max Verstappen!
Max Verstappen is among six drivers facing a potential F1 grid penalty after changing engine components for the Italian Grand Prix. The FIA confirmed this during the first practice session at Monza. Verstappen, along with Gasly, Ocon, Albon, Hulkenberg, and Bortoleto, have reached the limit of their legal internal combustion engine, turbocharger, and motor generator unit-heat components. With a limit of four components per season, fitting a fifth component results in a grid penalty. Verstappen has also used up most of his exhaust component pool, while the other drivers have received new exhausts. It is common for such changes to occur before the Italian GP due to high speeds and full-throttle requirements during the weekend.
